Reading went into the last few games of the season in dire need of points, and according to SkySports' pundits we are the favourites to go down.

Now, according to everyone and especially the bookies, this should have been a stroll for the Canaries. However, Reading put up a superb defensive display to stun the home side and their fans.

After 80 minutes, it looked like job done for Reading with a 0-1 lead going into the last phase but the Canaries this season have been the last-minute wonders and this game was no exception with two well-taken goals in the 82nd and 87^th minutes. This should have been enough to see the Canaries home, but up stood Reading's new wonder kid and he blasted a 97^th minute equaliser that put the whole of the blue and white army in raptures.

Now I have said all season that such results mean nothing If we can't back them up with something out of the next game. As lady luck would have it, this is exactly what happened with Brentford having “Beach Mode” turned up to the max.

In terms of the fans, the Canaries were fairly philosophical about the result, some complimentary towards Reading and the others questioning our style. I mean who in their right mind would suggest that Reading could get something at Norwich in a straight fight? The Brentford fans were very similar to the players with most of them seemingly taking the same early holiday as the players judging by the amount on Twitter!

Nice stats but 2-2

In a season 106... that's the one that counts

It's not all about goals, it's about stopping them as well

OMG keystone cops

Some fans never satisfied

Again, it's putting the ball in the net, wasn’t that 2-2?

How many points clear are Norwich?

Awe is it...

#Jealous - I wish our players could do this for once!

It's six games before the end of the season, you are not getting relegated or promoted, what you expecting?

Summary

We are close so damn close to making this season end with a whimper rather than a nervous last game. Now we are at the Easter programme and two games in four days will make a huge difference to our season. Getting three points somewhere is crucial but, saying that, as long as we better Rotherham and Wigan’s scores, who cares?

The Norwich game showed the fans the fighting spirit in this club and the back to the wall resistance was excellent. I have always said that as long as the players show pride and passion they will have the fans on board.

Judging by recent posts on Twitter, the players have this in buckets - especially the loan ones. What’s certain is that they have shown what was missing from this team from earlier in the season. The really interesting thing was that we were all saying 'Jose Gomes who?' not all that long ago.

Pointing to his managerial record and questioning it, goes to show that managers as well as players sometimes just need to find the right club.
